He was born to Morris Weldon and Arden Lyle Barrier on October 28, 1936, in Cookville, Texas, and graduated from Mount Pleasant High School in 1955.

Out of his genuine love for Texas history, he started a company called Ellwood of Texas and began making antique barbed wire displays. These Texasshaped plaques were sold at courthouses, restaurants, and shops throughout the state. He became a familiar face to the thousands of people he encountered while selling his craft across Texas. He expressed his faith in the Lord through giving and song. He and Rachel were members of First Baptist Gunter for 45 years and rarely missed a choir rehearsal or Sunday morning worship service. He loved to sing at church, at funerals, and with his family. He supported and encouraged the ministers. Ellis expressed his love for family and friends through giving gifts, whether it be a novel gadget, cash, or a story or two. This is especially true of his family. He had 14 grandchildren and 1 greatgrandchild that he enjoyed lavishing with toys or humorous anecdotes from his childhood or history of Texas. He had a tremendous appreciation for the beauty of God’s creation: mountains, streams, meadows, and wildlife, which he especially savored through his travels to Colorado. He was a voracious reader and maintained that curiosity to learn and explore through books, magazines, and maps up until the end. Ellis was preceded in death most recently by his beloved wife Rachel in 2021, his parents Morris Weldon and Arden Barrier, and his brother Franklin. He
